Hey everyone... this looks really fun, is it too late to join in?
Mod
Laser beams are used as a weapon."
Mpauli runs this and will, of course, have final say, but I don't recall him ever turning anyone away. You need to decide which team you want, though.
It's never too late, but you should totally join DC!
What do I need to do to start off? Post a plan in the progress thread?
Mod
Pick a team, any books you read in 2016 count. Post what you read on this thread so Mpauli can track the points. The Progress Thread is for you (and others) to keep track of what you're done. Villains and Books of the Month only count for their respective months. So, anything for Poison Ivy you read this month counts, but anything for Penguin or Mystique won't.
Then start reading, have fun, and remember, the point is to enjoy, not stress about points. ;)
Mod
A couple of the sisters become parents later on, and it's told from their POVs.
Mod
The Painted Drum Various grasses and trees on the cover. 1/3 for Poison Ivy
The end of last month I asked to join the marv
Marvel team. But was waiting to be added to the roster before posting books read
MPauli (the moderator of this challenge) usually only posts once a week. It's usually safe to say you're in the team you chose unless the teams are very un-even, which they're not.
Thx for the response Melanie. I think I'll wait for mpauli to update then. Just to make sure no toes are trodden upon.
Mod
More DC though plz ;D
I think 2 people are joining Marvel and 1 for DC this week.
Joining in now I understand we can count books we've read this year so far against the recruiting section? I've got quite a few to add but the rules ask us to put in a seperate post for each book... should I put them all in one post to begin, to avoid post-spamming the thread? :)
